Combat is the world’s ultimate sport, the “Super Bowl” of life itself.
Other sports exist to serve as theatre for the masses as they eat their popcorn, drink their beer and place their bets.
Combat requires the consummate bet, as the ante is your sanity and the wager, your life. It is man on man, will against will, and stink on stink.
The playing field lies at the intersection of Kiss Your Ass Goodbye and The Gates of Hell.
This is not a game for bush-leaguers, or the timid, and spectators are discouraged. No official score is kept, but the field is strewn with winners and losers. The pay is low and the risk is high but all you need to participate is backbone and a short memory. A player would be well advised to bring his “A-Game”.

Come on boys, its hotter than hell, it looks like rain, we’re suited up and we ain’t showered in a month. It’s a perfect day to die.
Somebody kick the Devil in the nuts and let’s get this show started.
